Welcome and enjoy... :lol:
First I would say to have a clear goal for the car... What type of performance driving do you want it for and what power goals do you expect.
One thing I can tell you is don't jump into the mods willy nilly. These cars require tuning for just about anything you do. The best thing to do is to define a goal and research first. Then accumulate all you parts and install them at one time. This way you can tune once and for everything you have.
Do not get an after market intake... They are useless unless you are going big turbo. The stock setup with a K&N filter is the best bang for your money.
For your fist mod I would suggest going Stage 2 which includes a Turbo back exhaust, and a Stage 2 tune. (either with an AccessPort or an OpenSource tune) Possibly a Fuel Pump. Stage 2 will give you enough power to satisfy a wide range of performance driving goals.
If you are looking to buy a car I would suggest you look for a clean unmolested stock STi. This way you can hand pick the parts and you will have good bones to work with. Don't buy something that has a built block or a heavy list of mods. The majority of them are vastly unreliable and you just don't know what you are getting.
Unless the car is used, If it were me, I would wait till your warranty is done before you start modding anything :tup:
Just take your time and check out all the write-ups on the site and make wise educated decisions.

Yeah shop around... $30,000 is way to much... 06-07 your looking between 20,000 and 25,000 for a reasonable price and it better be absolutely perfect and completely un-molested. Anything more than that and I would tell them to stick it!
Kelly Blue Book on a perfect condition 2006 STi with 80,000 miles on it is $19,882 for private sale.

But i hate when they get out and reach for it anyways and close the door by the window!! They did that ALL the time in my mini. I was afraid they were gonna snap with window in half.

Im not sure about any other bank as far as the ones that do financing...but USAA you can call up (even as a non-member) and ask for a price on the car but you have to have the VIN number and mileage. They will also tell you if it has had any issues with it (car fax). Then they will give you the price for that car according to kelly blue book. That will give you a bartering tool to reduce the price. But then you have to take into consideration...has the person modified the car as well. Mods will drive up the price. Hope this helps. Good luck
